priv allows authorised users to execute commands that run as different
users.
-When priv is invoked, it reads a list of authorised commands from a
-database file called
-
- ${PREFIX}/etc/priv/<username>
-
-Each line of the database file is a colon-separated list of fields.
-The first two fields must be specified. Blank lines or lines
-beginning with a ``#'' character are ignored. The fields, in order,
-are:
-
- expiry date
- user name to run command as
- flags
- command name
-
-The format of the expiry date is YYYYMMDDhhmm. A date of ``0'' is
-interpreted as no expiry date.
+When priv is invoked, it reads a list of authorised commands from
+a per-user database file that defines expiry date, user name to
+run command as, flags, and command names to run.
